I use these three devices daily and if they break, I'll buy them again.
I sometimes test gadgets beyond my capabilities, and not all of them stay in my house forever, but some do, and I can recommend them without fear of being wrong.
I've been swimming all my life, and even competing all my life. Now I swim and train alone, and although I've always been somewhat opposed to underwater MP3 players, I finally ended up buying one , the Shokz OpenSwim , which is the best model on the market and also uses bone conduction, something completely different from the old underwater MP3 players that were attached to your ear like a plug.
They don't come out because they're not inserted into the ear, and honestly: they sound amazing, to the point that they've already become the standard for waterproof MP3 players, with other brands like Suunto selling their own models.
I've always hated aquatic MP3 players for their nihilism in the pool, but now I've fallen for it myself.
I bought them about two years ago and wrote the review , and I stand by it 100%: they've helped me a lot to motivate myself to swim more, not only because of the music but especially because I can listen to podcasts while I swim, a real delight.
It's one of my favorite devices, I use them practically every day and I love them, although the Shokz OpenSwim 2 are already on sale, which also have Bluetooth in case you want to use them as classic bone conduction headphones outside of the water.
They're undoubtedly an investment that has paid off handsomely , and they still work like new. I've also converted to the dark side: from hating MP3 players at the pool to not using them. Of course, I try to behave with more respect toward other users than I've always seen from them.
I'm left-handed and work all day in front of a computer, so I've been adapting my workspace for a while to make it more comfortable and ergonomic. I have a standing desk, a good chair, a monitor riser, and a vertical mouse. But of course, I needed one that was left-handed, and there are few recognized brands that make them—practically none beyond Logitech, which is striking even in 2025.
There are plenty of cheap models on AliExpress and other stores, but I ended up paying a little more for the Logitech Lift , and I don't regret it because other models I've tried have ended up giving me all the problems in the world and more. It's lightweight, responsive, and I can connect it to up to three devices at once via Bluetooth, which I do: my Mac Mini, my work MacBook, and my tablet.
For some reason, few brands make ergonomic mice for left-handed users.
I sometimes use the tablet like a laptop, and with any other mouse I would have to pair it to the tablet and then unpair it to use it on my computer, but with the Lift it's just a click of a button to switch between my devices.
It's available in various colors and for both left- and right-handed users. This sets it apart from other mice from the same brand, which are excellent, like the MX, but aren't available exclusively for left-handed users.
I mentioned the Mac Mini above, my personal computer, which I also use for work from time to time and, to a lesser extent, to play strategy games, my favorite genre. I bought it several years ago for around €700, and it's been gradually going down in price. Now I'd really buy the new Mac Mini with M4 , which is also quite affordable for what it offers and is the latest model on sale.
Its main limitation is obvious: it's a desktop PC, even if it's small, and you can't take it on the road like you can with a laptop . That said, it's unbeatable in terms of value, and it's also very powerful compared to the M4. It doesn't take up any space on my desk and doesn't get hot or noisy. It's all advantages.
It's not much use to me for gaming, but for everything else it's the best computer I've ever had.
Yes, you do have to buy a monitor, keyboard, and mouse, just like any desktop PC, but I'd honestly say there's no better, cheaper PC on the market for working , editing video, or photos—unless you want a Windows 11 PC for gaming, of course.
That's precisely what's missing: Apple getting its act together to improve game compatibility with macOS, something Linux has already done. On the other hand, I have to say that I already have a gaming console, the ASUS ROG Ally in particular.
